William Fuehring Fund For Future Leaders

Who was Bill Fuehring?

Bill was a lot of things,
he was the founder of RPCA, a great friend, mentor, teacher, negotiator.
But more importantly Bill was one of the nicest guys you could ever hope
to meet. Bill was taken from this world unexpectedly a few years ago and
we all miss him dearly. In an effort to preserve his memory and honor
him for all that he gave to our industry the RPCA Board of Directors
created the William Fuehring Fund.

The William Fuehring Fund has one purpose, that is to make it easier for
younger individuals to become active in the railroad industry. The fund
will pay 100% the cost of a candidate to travel and attend the annual RPCA
conference, hotel accommodations, attendance at any of the seminars, the
annual banquet and any additional activities. To be eligible you must:
